It is said that dogs are a breed after people domesticated wolves. But, can wolves and dogs breed offspring? Don't believe it. Wolves and dogs can breed offspring, but it is difficult to breed them together. You must also ensure that the wolf will not harm the dog. Pay attention to safety issues. When dogs and wolves breed, it is best to choose animals of the same kind to breed.
Wolves and dogs are the same species. They both belong to the gray wolf species in the genus Canidae. Gray wolves have more than forty subspecies, of which ordinary wolves and dogs are two subspecies. Being of the same species means that they can mate freely and their offspring are capable of reproducing and may have reproductive advantages. Horses and donkeys both belong to the genus Equus, but are different species. Therefore, their mating is called interspecific hybridization, which is a distant hybridization. Similarly, there are tigers and lions in the genus Leopard of the cat family. The offspring of different species that are interspecific hybrids have no reproductive ability.
Canids such as dogs and wolves do not have very developed sweat glands in their bodies. Unlike humans, they cannot regulate their body temperature through sweating. Once their bodies heat up, it is difficult to lower their body temperature, so dogs are very afraid of heat.
